( 19/11/2018 - 24/11/2018 )

                        This was the second week of our teaching practice. In this week I almost completed eight lesson plans. I got substitution classes in 9 D because some teachers went to the tour. So I can finish the topic Lens.

                        On Monday, I completed topics - Formation of image using lens, Ray diagrams of formation of images at different positions, Saturated and Supersaturated solutions. I use sufficient teaching aids for teaching this topics. On Tuesday, was holiday because of 'Nabidinam'. On Wednesday,  I had no classes but I had duty at Malayala thilakkom programme.Thursday, I completed the topic New Cartesian sign convention and Magnification. I introduced this topic using a chart showing the comparison of Cartesian coordinates.On Friday I completed the topic Growing crystal, Homogeneous and Heterogeneous mixtures. I showed the experiments and activities related to the topic.Besides the regular classes, I have got duty for the programme, 'Malayalamthilakkam', a Kerala government sponsored program, to develop Malayalam language skill among pupils.

                     This week was a good experience for me. I really enjoyed this week.
